Amazon is selling a book for pedophiles

[agzg]

I'm fine with Ama/on selling the book. There's a ton of random shit on Ama/on, from anal beads to ridiculously overpriced engagement rings (see D&R Random thread). As a major bookseller, they SHOULD be standing up for the right to publish or sell whatever the hell books people want to write (content-wise). I'm a little pissed they took it down.

That said, I'm totally not fine with the blatant disregard the author seems to display toward proper grammar and spelling rules. He should be drawn and quartered.

This reminds me a lot of the controversy surrounding a book called "The Turner Diaries." Totally different crime, but similar questions surrounding the boundaries of free speech. It's basically a "how-to" guidebook for a violent uprising of white supremacists that has actually been cited in criminal cases involving... you guessed it: violent crimes committed by white supremacists.

It's my understanding that "The Turner Diaries" is a fictional novel that has been used as inspiration and/or propaganda piece for white supremacists and people with anti-government sentiments (I've never read it but it's been brought up in some of my classes). It's not a "how-to" guidebook in the sense that the pedophile book is.
